Cinema (Movie)Theaters and Assitive Listening Systems

Thanks to the ADA, Movie Theaters must provide some type of Assitive Listening System. They may use one of several captioning devices, or use assitive devices. When planning on going to a movie theatre check their listing or use one of the links below to find out what type of listen service is provided.

It is important that those who need hearing assistance ask for and use the system available. If a system or deivice is not working (batteries often don't get replaced or recharged), speak with the manager! Don't be shy. Remember when you advocate for yourself you are an advocate for others as well. It's important that those in charge know we expect to have working systems and devices. A "thank you" will be appreciated as well.

Use the link below to locate Cinemas and other theaters which have assitive devices.
